Her Protectors

Chapter 11

Adrian: Help me!

My eyes fluttered open and I looked all around me and saw nothing. I tried to wave my hands in front of me but again zilch. I was swallowed into complete and utter darkness. I sprawled out trying to see if I can feel something, anything but once again, nothing. Then I started to hear voices whispering all around me.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Can anyone hear me?

I started to make my way towards the voices and noticed that the voices started to get louder and louder. Wait I know those voices.

Xan?

Aaron?

Brothers can you hear me?

Please, help me get out of here.....please.

I kept running towards the voices yelling and hoping that they would be able to hear me, Spence me, smell me, anything. I kept running towards their voices trying to follow them hoping that I would find my way back but then the voices stopped. There was nothing but but silence and my own thoughts

I dropped down to my knees letting the tears that I was trying so hard to hold back finally let fall from my eyes. This was the only time that I was going to allow myself to cry. It was the same thing every time. I would wake up and hear the voices and when I would run to the voices the closer I got the farther they seemed. Then after running the voices would cut out, leaving me in this dark abyss.

"Hey, it's going to be okay Adrian. We will get out of this. We just need our mate. She will know what to do." I heard my wolfs head in my head in a low whisper.

Beast? Is that you? I asked aloud knowing that my wolf would still be able to hear me. Are you okay?

"Of course it's me dumb human. Who else would it be."

I rolled my eyes knowing that it was indeed my wolf. He started to talk to me about everything and anything making me feel more calm and relaxed. "Hey, human, remember that one time when mom got mad at all of us for sneaking out and going for a run outside of the boarders. She was so mad that she said that all four of us was grounded til the next full moon. That was the first shift that us and our brothers had.

     Yeah, I remember Beast, she was so mad at us and sent us to our rooms. But that night we all got out of our beds and met outside in the hallway feeling bad that we had put our mother in that position. We all followed Xan down the hall and up the stairs to mom and dads floor when we could hear moms hysteric cries. We all stood their switching from foot to foot listening on what was going on.

"They could have died James. What if the rogues had gotten to them."

     Mom was so hurt that night that you could see it on her face. She broke because she thought that we were in danger. We didn't even know rogues were spotted in the area until mother wolf called out to us. She was hysterical and her voice held so much anger. Yelling at us to stay together and hurry back. But now I know that she wasn't as angry for us sneaking out but more scarred for all of her pups to return home to her safely.

     "They are safe now sweetheart. They are safe and under this roof. The moon goddess herself has guided our boys back to us." Dad was just as sad but was trying so hard to ease moms worries. Man, I will never forget that night or the night that shortly followed after that.

     I remember the night that he was taken. It was raining so bad outside it was like the clouds were spraying out tiny pebbles. There were hunters and and rogue wolves that were marching on our boarders. We all wanted to help protect the pack so we all volunteered to go with dad when my mom told us no because we were still pups and not ready. We had shifted into our wolves four days before that. We ended up having to take mom and all the women, children, elderly, and disabled to the underground pack bunker. But then he got out. He was itching to go with dad and help the pack so he snuck out when no one was looking and ran I to the battle.

    I remember mom telling some of the women to start making rounds. Some of the women were in charge of the kids others making sure that the bunker was secured and others making sure that the weapons were ready just in case someone or something came in. "Boys I want you to make sure that the escape tunnel is free just in case we need to make a quick break." My mom was a great leader next to my father. She was strong and brave. "Adrian sweetly have you seen your brother. I looked at her and shook my head. I. All honesty I haven't seen him. The other two were already in the tunnel making sure that the escape route was clear but I didn't know where our other was. "Shit!" I heard my mom say.

     She started to pace back and forth her hands clasped together. I can see that she was fighting momma wolf to take over. My was telling her that they couldn't leave the safety of the bunker because that will lead the hunters and rogues right to them children and pack. "I don't want to leave our pup I don't Danny but he has his father, our mate we have to do right by everyone and keep the safe as Luna! Mom has to choose between the pack and her son.

     After what seemed like hours we could hear the clanks and clinks of the locks moving across the door. My mom linked everyone telling them to quickly make their way towards the back by the tunnels. Aaron and I was in front of the group by the door leading to the tunnels while Xander was at the end in front of the main entrance standing between the door and mom waiting to rip whoever it was to pieces. Then we heard pounding.

     "Adrian you and Aaron start making your way through the tunnels and save as much of them as you can me and Xander will try to hold them off as long as possible giving you guys time to get them to safety." Then the door slammed open and my dad appeared and his Beta behind him.

"It's safe to come out now."

My mom dropped to her knees. My dad ran towards her side and picked her up taking her straight to their room. My brothers and I all felt it. The thin connection of our brother. Aaron and I fell to our knees and stayed their silently weeping. But not Xan he had to be strong. He had to be strong for us, for our parents, and for our pack. He has always had the responsibility of protector because he was the oldest. I felt bad for him but he never once complained. He couldn't grieve or cry for the loss of our brother he had to protect and rebuild the pack.

    After talking with Beast he said he started to get tired and needed to rest. But that worries me because he was an Alpha and he never got tired and never left me alone. That's when I felt my connection to my wolf start to fade.

Beast? Beast, answer me, are you okay? But no answer. Please B don't leave me too. I sat there on the brink of a mental breakdown becoming prisoner of my own mind.

                               ***
Hey nuggets! How's life treating ya?

So it wasn't three brothers but actually four.
What happened to Beast and his connection to Adrian?

Poor Adrian all alone and slowly losing his mind.

What do you guys think so far? Any suggestions would be great.

I know that there are a lot of grammatical errors so sorry bout that. I'll try and find time to fix it eventually. I still don't have a clear outline of where I'm going with this story so whatever ideas pop into my head is what I put down so please forgive me if sometimes it doesn't make sense.

Which leads me to a question. Does this story make sense so far? If not let me know so that I can go back and read where I lost you and fix it. I actually don't re read it before publish it either. (Just being honest)
